    Red spots on the glans that are not painful or itchy may be caused by carelessness in personal hygiene, rough sex, allergies, etc.

    1. Not paying attention to personal hygiene

    If you don't pay attention to personal hygiene, the smegma caused by the foreskin may irritate the glans and cause inflammation, leading to balanitis and erythema on the glans. Some people's symptoms are not particularly serious, and there is no pain or itching. You need to pay attention to personal hygiene at ordinary times. You can use warm water to wash it to relieve symptoms.

    2. Rough sex life

    If you have rough sexual intercourse and excessive squeezing, it will cause bleeding under the skin of the penis and easily form some erythema. Usually no special treatment is required. Subcutaneous bleeding will slowly be absorbed over time.

    3. Allergy factors

    If the underwear material you wear is not good, it may cause erythema on the glans after allergy, but some people may experience symptoms such as local stinging or itching. If necessary, you can take anti-allergic drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor, such as loratadine tablets, levocetirizine hydrochloride tablets, etc.
